text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - NYC - Remote is okay<p>Lambda is an invite-only marketplace for developers, designers, and entrepreneurs to find high-paying, fulfilling work. <a href="http://getlambda.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getlambda.com&#x2F;</a><p>We just launched and are a bit different than the other talent marketplaces:<p><pre><code>  - Invite-only. Don&#x27;t compete with low-quality talent in a race to the bottom.
  - Flexible commitment — work as few as 10 hours per week, or as much as 40 hours per week.
  - $100&#x2F;hr minimum rate.
  - We&#x27;re developers too. Every project is hand-screened.
</code></pre>
If that&#x27;s appealing, send me an email at andrew [@] getlambda [dot] com.<p>Freelancers with side projects or startups are especially welcome!

We process all the websites pages with PhantomJS and save the result. When Google crawls the page, the website just has to proxy the snapshot from our server and send the file to Google-bot.<p>We need to create a Heroku add-on so that people can signup for BromBone form within Heroku. This process is well documented by Heroku.<p>Currently BromBone does have any login&#x2F;auth system for users. The project would also involve creating that system. Probably using Firebase&#x27;s Auth system, although this is still up for discussion.<p>Willing to work with someone working nights and weekends, or with someone who wants to knock it out quicker working full days. Would prefer to per project or milestone payments rather than hourly.<p>The ideal candidate is someone who has previously created a Heroku add-on and&#x2F;or used Firebase&#x27;s Auth system. However, that is not a requirement.<p>If you&#x27;re interested, please email chad@brombone.com
